Area rugs bring style and comfort to your home while offering a myriad of benefits. These versatile decor pieces enhance the beauty of any room, define spaces, and provide a cozy surface underfoot. Additionally, area rugs absorb sound, insulate against cold floors, and protect your flooring, making them a practical and aesthetic choice.
Strategy
To help choose a rug that compliments a room instead of overwhelming it, use key furniture pieces to help you size. Ideally, all furniture legs rest on the rug to help define the space.
- In the living room, define a seating area by extending the rug beyond the coffee table and under sofa and chair legs.
- In the dining room, opt for a rug large enough to fit table and chairs, even when pulled out.
- For bedrooms, place a rug under the bed with space on all sides for a cohesive look.
- For hallways and entry ways, choose a proportionate runner to create a walking path.
- In open floor plans, use area rugs to define specific zones.
Patterns and textures can be used to help balance visual appeal, but ultimately personal preference is the key to finding a rug that fits your lifestyle.

Chances are, you have a rug somewhere in your home that always bunches up or slides around when you step on it. There’s a simple solution to your dilemma, and that’s a rug pad. Keep you, your family and your guests safe from tripping and falling over a loose rug.
Rug pads help your rug stay in place, keeping it safe and looking great. They also create additional space and padding beneath a rug, helping keep the flooring underneath clean and adding an extra layer of comfort.
The thicker the cushion on your rug pad, the more comfort and protection you gain.
Regular Rug Pads
General rug pads are made from a slip-resistant webbed material, and largely prevent your rug from sliding out from underneath you when you step on it. You can order a roll and cut it to size or order a pre-cut pad in the specific size you need.
Premium Rug Pads
Premium felt or polyester blend pads are coated to help them stick to the floor, offering extra protection against movement. They also help to prevent scratches under the rug and are best for adding comfortable padding.
Both types of rug pads can be used together, but you should definitely have at least one under every rug in your home. Shop our huge collection of rug pads to find the right one for you!
